When did you first become aware of your gender? As best you can remember, what were the circumstances that made you aware of this?

What did it mean for you to grow up as your particular gender?

In what settings do you feel the greatest sense of belonging based on gender? Have you ever been in a specific setting where you felt like you just “didn’t belong” because of your gender? Explain.

Written work must be double-spaced, using a standard 12-point font, 1 margins, black type,
and meeting the word-limit specifications for the assignment.
